Relaxing stay in a beautiful place
We very much enjoyed our stay at Karl and Agentas villa, the town of Laurens is a very sleepy area in the middle of a wine county. Our young children enjoyed watching the small tractors ferry grapes to the local winery. The locals of the village were very friendly. The Villa is beautiful with a clean good sized pool which we spent most of our days by. The house was a great size for 5 adults and 3 small young children. Only issue, the floors and surfaces were very dusty which we had to clean ourselves when we arrived.

French village getaway
Villa Agnes is very well equipped and comfortable. The pool is great to lounge by if you fancy a lazy day and there is a good boulangerie about two minutes walk away. There's a great restaurant, Abbaye Sylva Plana- not cheap - on the outskirts of the village. Bit of a schlep though if you don't want to drive. There's lots to do in the area, some lovely towns and villages to visit and great wine to try! We had a very enjoyable trip.

Laurens at the end of summer
The property is well positioned with easy access to Laurens and it’s local shops and a good restaurant. Laurens is in the middle of wine country and when we were there vendage was in full flow with a constant smell of wine! Being close to the hills and national park there is plenty of good walking but if you want to go to the coast, it is within an easy drive. The Villa is fairly simply but very adequately furnished and equipped and the pool is very nice. The pool isn’t heated but after the first shock of going in was very pleasant. The host was easy to deal with on booking and we had no need to contact the local property manager. I would certainly recommend the property.

Absolutely Fantastic
This villa is just brilliant, the photographs online do not do it justice at all. Externally there is a gated and large driveway with enough parking for several cars. The patio area is very usable and the tree is particular is immense, the shade it offers and some how cools the air on a hot day is unreal. The pool area is great, plenty of seating, clean and tidy and well appointed, the pool is a good size, one depth throughout. The internal space is well thought out, the lounge and kitchen area being especially impressive due to its size and layout, have the shutters open and it is very light and a nice place to be, to cool down as it was in august. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all a good size, the property is well finished and furnished throughout making it a great place to be. I'm sure my words will not do the property justice but it really is great throughout, very comfortable in a great location. We met the housekeepers who were only too happy to help when required, offered some great advice on the local areas, what was going on and things to do. The village although out of the busy area and quiet is really nice, as soon as you are in tune with the shop opening hours you can get all you need. This was a wonderful holiday for my family, beautiful area of the world with plenty to do and great accommodation. I would highly recommend this property.

Fantastic week in a gorgeous property
We had a fantastic week in this property. The location was great for sightseeing. Everything from pretty towns and villages to sea side towns to gorgeous countryside walks were within half an hours drive. The property itself is beautiful. Very clean and well equipped. We loved the outdoor space and even enjoyed playing table tennis most nights. Agneta was a great host. We had regular contact before our stay with clear information and loads of tips on local amenities and days out suggestions. We loved it so much we are booking again for next year.

Lovely villa in a quiet village
Stayed here for a week at the beginning of June. Villa was lovely and very well equipped for our needs. We travelled with a 1 year old baby and everything we could need was there- baby bath, high chair and cot. Owner's communication in the lead up was excellent, we had all the info we needed. Housekeepers also very friendly and helpful. All in all it was a relaxing week away. Would 100% return

Great villa and village for a family holiday
To celebrate a big birthday and also a retirement, my husband and I booked this villa for friends and family over a three week period. It was ideal for us and the pool was a real treat during our stay, with our granddaughter trying out swimming with armbands for the first time. The accommodation was comfortable, the wi-fi a necessity with all our different ages and the gas barbecue was an added bonus during the extended stretch of fantastic weather. Laurens is quiet but there are a few shops, a good restaurant within walking distance, a basic bar, a takeaway and also an unusual Chinese takeaway two evenings a week operating from a local house! There is also a good farm shop just outside the village and a pharmacy close by. A car was vital to see the unspoilt countryside but hold your breath if you tackle some of the tiny, one way streets in many local villages. Add to the mix the extensive choice of local wines and this really was a great place to stay to see a really rural and friendly part of France.

Wir durften eine Woche mit Freunden in der Maison Agnes verbringen. Kurz um: es war alles schick, wie beschrieben und mehrfach positiv rezensiert. Besonders gut gefallen hat uns das tägliche gemeinsame Abendessen unter dem Maulbeerbaum. Prime Time.

Super séjour dans
La maison Agnès est très agréable, remarquablement bien équipée, très propre et idéalement située pour rayonner dans la région. Le jardin et la magnifique piscine ont fait le bonheur de toute la famille (et du chat) pendant une période estivale très chaude. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié les petits présents de bienvenue et remercions les propriétaires de cette délicate attention. Nous recommandons sans réserve la maison Agnès !
